Hey every one I am new here but have been reading these threads and this site seems to be the most responsive and helpful.
Here is my problem: I just bought a 1971 Toro Proline 118. The machine has an 18 hp kohler magnum series engine.
It ran like a top when I looked at it and I mowed like 2 acres with it. after I mowed, I wanted to set the deck a little lower and see how it cut. Started the machine and away I go. Mowin like a champ. All of a sudden it dies, no smoke, or sputter, just died and will not start, has gas, changed spark plugs, replaced gas, and what not. The engine turns fine but actually seems to be turning easier than it did when i started.
Old machine and all saftey switches have been bypassed, Don't even really know if this is the original engine.
Any ideas what could be the cause????
Thanks for your help in advance.
